Water for Stock in Winter.

A large proportion Of the food of our
animals is used to keep up the temper
ature of the body to about one hundred
degrees. Cold weather, damp barn
yards, cracks in the barn or sheds,
greatly increase the consumption of food
to no good purpose. Much more regard
is now paid to the comfort of our stock
in these respects than formerly. We
think, however, many fail to realize the
loss of food sustained by compelling an
finals 70 drink ice-coid water. Water
as it comes fresh from the we'll has a
temperature of about fifty-five degrees.
When allowed to stand until frozen
over and the ice then broken, and
pieces of ice suffered to remain in the
water, the temperature speedily falls to
thirty-ive degrees. Experiments are
reported which seem to show that it
pays to artifciallv warm the drinking
water for milch cows. Be this as it
may, no one can doubt that water at
fifty-five degrees is cold enough for
health. The water that an animal
drinks has to be raised to the temper
allure of its body, say one hundred de-
grees. And, of course, it requires much
more fuel in food to raise pailful of
water from thirty-five degrees to one
hundred degrees than pailful of fresh
water from nifty five degrees to one hun
dred. If the heat required to warm
the pailful OF water twenty degrees was
derived from hay, or straw, or grain,
the loss would not in many cases be
severely felt, but as matter of fact,
this heat is obtained from the consump-
ton of fat and flesh, or butter and
cheese. This is expensive fuel. We
are aware that it is not always easy to
furnish animals water free from ice.
We fill the trough with water, and the
cows, and sheep, and horses do not
drink as much as we expected, and the
next morning there is a thick layer of
ice upon the water. In such a case,
break the ice as in large pieces as posi-

For Love of an Indian Girl.
A YOUNG MAN WISHES TO MARRY
DUsKY MAIDEN, BUT is DEBARRED.

A rather novel request was received at
the Interior Department in Washington
from a young man living in Nebraska,
who wants to marry a daughter of
Standing Bear. a Sioux chief. He
states who he is and encloses photo
graph of the girl, who is very good
looking and was educated at Carlisle.
The young man, however, wishes to 90
and live on the reservation with his
prospective wife and her relations, and
for this reason it was necessary to OBJ
tain the permission of the Interior De
partment. White men are not allowed
to stay on an Indian reservation unless
they have authority from the govern
ment to do so, and so this young man
was obliged to take the government
into his confidence and reveal his love
affairs.
The Secretary of the Interior consid-
cred the matter from its practical rather
than its sentimental side and concluded
that while he could not prevent the
young man marrying the girl he could
prevent him from going to live with The
old folks, and if he was anxious to
marry the young woman, as he pro-
fessed to be, he might scratch around
and provide her with a home Secre-
tary Lamar will write letter to the
ambitious lover, and, while not discour
aging the ardor of his love, will suggest
the practical view of the situation,
which seems to have escaped him
Until there is some change in the pres
ent plans of the young man, the paternal
benedlction of the Interior Department
will be withheld.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
White Woman Killed by Negroes to
Sell the Body for Dissection.

BALTIMORE, Md.-About o'clock
Friday evening negro man brought to
the Maryland University on Lombard
street the body of white woman and
left it with Anderson Perry, the colored
ianitor, saying he would call again for
the SIS, the price agreed upon. The
body was taken to be prepared for keep
ing until needed for dissection, but it
was found that the head was terribly
crushed and that there were two wounds
in the left breast, and the police were
notified. Yesterday post mortem ex-
animation of the body was made, and
the physicians stated positively that the
wounds were made after death, leaving
The inference that it was simply case
of body snatching and that the work
nad been done by novice.
The body was identified as that of
Emily Brown, sixty years of age, who
for the past SIX months had been board
ing with colored family in the western
part of the city. She was of dissipated
habits, and lived on what she could beg.
She was at her home three hours before
her body was brought to the university,
and it is now evident that she was muir
dered Tor the price her body would
bring for use on the dissecting table.
Perry, the janitor who received the
body, denies that he ever saw the wo-
mon, but he is known to have been a
boarder at the same house and to have
eaten breakfast with her on the morning
Of her murder. He was arrested as ac-
cessory for the crime.
John Rosr and Albert Hawkins, both
colored, were arrested and confessed to
have killed the woman at the instigation
of Janitor Perry. They followed her to
her room, and Ross smashed her head
with a brick while Hawkins held her
and stabbed her through the heart with
knife. They then carried the body to
the university in bag furnished by
Perry, who received it and shaved the
head to make Identification difficult.
The blood-stained clothing was thrown
into tub of water. Ross also board ed
in the house with the unfortunate wo-
mad. The price to be obtained for the
body was the sole object of the murder.

An Extra Train to he Pat On.

The Salt Lake Tribune says kilograms
have been flying over the wires between
San Francisco and Omaha, stating that the
proposed extra transaontinental train
would be pat on November IS next. Re-
ports of what was taken off the wires and
sent down here, while not official, are be.
lieved by local Union Pacific and Utah
Central men to be near enough for all
practical purposes. These reports say that
the morning east-bound train will leave as
usual. and the new evening train is to leave
Ogden at 1880 o'clock. The west-bound
Union Pacific trains will reach Ogden at
7:45 A. NJ, and 6 P. NJ, the latter time be.
ing only twenty minutes later than the
present schedule time of arrival. The
time of departure for the west-bound G. P.
trains will be $50 A. NJ. and $40 P. NJ, Pa
cifc Coast time, which is one hour later
than the local, or mountain time. Whether
the postal service is to be doubled also is
to be ascertained, but Mr.. Sherman
thought last night that it would. While
the U. ?. will shorten the time of one of
these trains and perhaps both, ten hours
between here and Omaha, railroad men are
doubtful whether the Central Pacific will
shorten its time the six hours expected, for
the reason that it will tell against their
longer Southern line. But if the Santa Fe
put on their proposed fast trains, it is as
serted the Central Pacific will be forced to
neglect its Southern line and brace up on
its local time.

An Individual for Whom h Off.

Reno Gazette: Constable Epson is on a
still hunt for one George Petty, who is &C.
cused of embezzlement, having skipped on
Thursday last with funds entrusted to
him by a fellow-workman. The name of
the robbed is not known, but from what
could be learned from him by the officers,
the circumstances of the case are as fol-
lows: On the day mentioned the men
arrived from the N. and G. railroad front
each with about $500 in money, the result
of their labors. In seeing the sights of a
great city," they had frequent ecourse to
the lightning telescope, with the result
that the robbed became somewhat hazy
and insisted on Petty taking charge of his
money, then amounting to $27S. Petty
did So, and soon after disappeared, and his
present abiding place is unknown. Petty
is described as being about five feet nine
inches in hight, dark complexion, wears a
small mustache, has scar on wrist, hair cut
short, is round shoIldered, left leg short
about two inches, causing a pronounced
limp, and when last seen was dressed in a
brown seal suit with small checks. A re-
ward has been offered for his arrest by
Constable Epson.

BARNUM WOULD LIKE HIM.
A Man OF Means from CALIFORNIA;
who Can split Granite with HI

N. Y. Mail and Express: A good
looking young man strolled into a big
brewery in Harlem yesterday and asked
for a glass of beer. He was well dressed
and appeared to be about % years old.
The owner of the brewery called the at
tention of a reporter to the young man
and said he was probably the strongest
man in the world. He is Mr.. Charles
Miller. Ten years ago he came to America
and went to California with his father,
where he began life as a butcher. He
made money and is now on a pleasure trip
East. He developed his phenomenal
strength at an early age. Being in no
need of money and disliking publicity,
Mr.. Miller has refused many offers to give
exhibitions of his powers. Yesterday,
however, he consented to show the re-
porter what he could do. With ease, he
placed two men, weighing not less than zoo
pounds each, on a table and then lifted
table and all above his head. After n or
two performances of this sort, MIR. Miller
remarked that his chief strenth lay in his
hands, and the force with which he could
strike a blow. A small 10y was sent into
the street and returned with an ordinary
paving stone, weighing Is or 20 pounds. Then
Mr.. Miller, for the first time, stripped
himself from the waist up. Immense
masses of muscle stood cut from hi. chest
and shoulders, giving him almost the APP
pearance of deformity. He placed the
granite block on an anvil, with the
smooth side up. He stood several PAGES
from it and began to swing his right arm.
After several revolutions he took one step
forward and brought his fist down on the
granite block, splitting it in a number of
pieces. His hand was a little red, but
otherwise seemed unhurt.
